27、tinctive pattern used to decorate fabrics and make countless clothes lively. This pattern also has a uniquely rich history dating back hundreds of years, spreading across multiple continents.Paisleys most obvious feature is the large swooshing （涡旋shapes called boteh. Many experts believe the shape i

28、s actually an artistically designed tree, which was a powerful religious symbol in India for thousands of years.
